Patented Nov. 22, 1932 LEOPOLD SGHABET, OF STU'LTGART, GERMANY TWO-PART CASE FOR CINEMATOGRAPHS Application filed June 5,

The present invention relates to two-part cases of cinematographs, which are provided with hinged covers and 1n which the spools for the film, moving freely in front of the 5 base for the mechanism, are arranged side by side with horizontal axes.

In connection with cases or this type it is known to the prior art to turn the fiat cover and the side walls separately about special shafts, but this arrangement is not satisfactory, as three different flaps or doors must be opened to make the film spools and film guide accessible so that light has many opportunities to enter.

The present invention eliminates these defects by makil g the parts or" the side walls in front of the base for the mechanism as well as lateral lobular projections integral With the hinged cover, the projections fitting into clearances in the side walls of the case, in which the film spools are arranged so as to be laterally accessible on their supports when the case is open. This construction of the case affords the advantage that only one slit has to be kept light-tight and that, above all, the entire film guide in front and behind the base can be made accessible or closed, together with the film spools, by one turn of the hand.

One embodiment of the invention is illus- 39 trated in the accompanying drawings, in which non-essential parts of? the mechanism have been omitted and in which Figure l is a view of the base in the case after removal of the cover; Fig. 2, a view seen from the right; and Fig. 3, a View seen from the left.

The case of the apparatus is divided into two parts as to depth and co rises the box a for the mechanism d behind the cross-wise partition 6 showing its sp i case at c and the pan shaped cover (5 is interconnected by the hinge c and the removable pin so that it can be turned up.

The partition 6 is about flush with er of the boX a so that the guiding means for the film g, arranged on its front side, well as the film itself are immediately accessible to the operator after opening the cover (5.

The film spools 7L1 and 712 are attached to their driving pins i1 and 2'2, respectively, from opposite sides, and for this reason the SQCLL 1929, Serial No. 368,516, and in Germany July 7, 1928.
